As a seasoned political observer with a knack for survival and resilience, I must admit, this turn of events has left me both astonished and amused. Donald Trump, the man who has defied all odds and rewritten the rules of politics, is once again set to occupy the Oval Office.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump was officially declared as the 47th President of the United States by the Associated Press, following their announcement of Wisconsin’s results and the election in his favor. This marked an extraordinary resurgence in American politics, allowing him to resume his role in the Oval Office once more.
Trump secured the required 270 electoral votes by winning Wisconsin, effectively sealing his presidency against Vice President Kamala Harris and securing a second, non-consecutive term in office.
In a heated, divisive political contest marked by strong populism, Donald Trump, along with the Republican Party, claimed victory in their bid to control the executive branch of the U.S. government. Throughout the campaign, Trump expressed numerous complaints about his perceived loss in the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
Trump’s presidency campaign was marked by numerous legal disputes that ended unfavorably for him, along with several threats to his life. In May, a New York jury declared the ex- and soon-to-be president guilty on 34 felony charges. This makes him the first president to assume office after being convicted of a felony. The sentencing for this so-called “hush money case” is set for November 26th.
In the process of revamping his Make America Great Again campaign, formerly a movement, into its original presidential form, the 78-year-old ex-president found himself shot in the ear during a speech at an open-air rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Remarkably, Trump recuperated swiftly and made it to the GOP convention in Philadelphia in August. However, news of a potential second assassination attempt surfaced when a gunman was discovered near one of his golf courses in Florida in September.
The dominance of Donald Trump’s control over the Republican Party was most evident at the 2024 GOP convention. He decisively defeated Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Vice President Mike Pence, former cabinet member Nikki Haley, and other competitors vying for the party’s nomination. Trump chose not to participate in any primary debates yet maintained a substantial lead of more than ten points over all opponents during his two-year campaign.
Over the past two years, Donald Trump’s bid for the 2024 presidential race has been marked by a persistent approach, mirroring his energetic rally style and populist ideology. At these rallies, he has chosen to address his ongoing legal struggles and disputes over the 2020 election to his dedicated supporters.
Trump persisted in spreading falsehoods regarding the 2020 election, dubbing it a “Big Lie” that was widely believed among his followers. He consistently backed MAGA supporters who participated in the January 6th assault on the Capitol during the certification of the 2020 votes by Congress. By the end of 2023, the financial toll from the president-elect’s misrepresentations about the election had nearly reached $1 billion.
